Dr. Todd Landman / Psycrets
Todd, with the assistance of Roni Shachnaey and others, have created and established, The British Society of Mystery Entertainers "Psycrets". From the humble beginnings of mysterious meetings in an archaic bookshop backroom, to a successful, and readily-respected organisation bringing together the greatest minds in mentalism, bizarre magick, storytelling, readings, spiritualist performance and the allied mystery entertaining crafts. The society has regular meetings, and plans afoot for a USA branch and larger longer meetings. This TMW Special Award is given to Todd, and Psycrets to recognise their superb achievement, and to encourage the growth of a new, exciting and flourishing society.

Kozmo / Reel Magic Quarterly
The format of a quarterly magic DVD publication was a brave choice to take, but, for Reel Magic, has proved a winner. It is unique and engaging, and provides a wealth of information. Reel Magic Quarterly and the people behind it are given this TMW Special Award to recognise their hard work and their innovation, it is this that drives magic forward, and into the 21st century.
